High Jump is the ability to leap extremely high in the air. It's usually one of the last abilities obtained in a game and can be gained through a variety of means, depending on the game. Some uppercuts also perform a high jump.

The High Jump was first introduced in the series upon finding the Gravity Boots (called Levitation Boots in the Japanese version) in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Alucard is able to perform the jump by pressing ↓, ↑ + [JUMP]. This move can be performed on the ground or in the air. The ascent can be steered slightly pressing either ← or → on the control pad. Alucard flips around and "lands on his feet" when he hits a ceiling.

The Gravity Boots from Symphony of the Night bear a uncanny resemblance to the High Jump Boots of the Metroid series, as the icon which represents both items is a boot with one wing attached near the heel. Because of how the gameplay is partially based on that of Metroid's (Metroidvania), it's likely a homage to that series.
